Me too.

I have set up a pre-admitted student visit at TC, set for the end of this month. If she writes to her potential advisor, they should be able to set up an informal orientation.

I received a "small" scholarship that will make tuition as though attending a state school. I do not mind the question.

Wow, I have had nothing but really positive communications with TC, and I am only being offered a masters track, as opposed to the doctoral I applied for. My (likely) advisor has been super accommodating and I'll be sitting in on 2 of my idol's classes when I visit in two weeks. Sorry, you all have not had similar experiences.

Haha, same. Right now, she's going to have to live with NYC for the next couple of years.

Not a word. I am hoping they'll notify today.

UT Ed Policy acceptances just went out. They accepted 4 students this year, no word on funding, as of yet.

I was certainly hoping to be of help to someone. Sorry, hopefully tomorrow, and with better news.

Received a post from UCLA today: Waitlisted for the Urban Education PhD. So, letters are making their way out. Southern California is killing me with these waitlists.

New here, but somewhat in the same boat. I understand your dilemma. I was just accepted to Columbia at a master's level, rather than the PhD I applied for: same department, different track. However, their faculty for my interest is second to none. Though I have not received a firm word on a PhD acceptance from others, yet, I am seriously thinking, who cares? This is a rather large foot in the door to the best department for my focus, why not do another 30 credit masters and then the PhD. I assume this what you're thinking with the Stanford POLS masters. I'm not too excited about the POLS possibility, myself. A nine month masters w/out funding seems kind of silly for me. However, if that is where you would like to end up for your eventual PhD, I can see that being a viable option/tryout. *Not trying to take your USC spot.
